I'm posting this in the Health Clinic, because even though my chams aren't currently doing poorly, I'm fearful for their health if I don't find a resolution to my problem.
The house I live in has no central air - just window units. Well..one went out earlier this summer, but it's a fairly small house so we were doing okay with just one unit running. The second unit just went out today. The room my chams are in was incredibly hot, so I put a box fan in the doorway. I want to move it to across the room from the cages, but that's where my first question comes up:
1. Is it unhealthy/stressful for the chams to have the fan constantly blowing on them?
Next, their heat lamps well..create a lot of heat. I wanted to turn them off, but then they wouldn't have a basking area anymore. So second question:
2. Is it okay to turn off their basking lamps in order to let the room cool down a bit?
Lastly, does anyone have any other ideas for helping me keep my chams from getting wayyy too hot between now and the time my sloth of a landlord gets around to getting our window units fixed/replaced?
Thanks!
